jin.jpgJust in off the wire: Ha Jin has won his second PEN/Faulkner for War Trash, the story of a Chinese POW set during the Korean War. Jin’s last PEN/Faulkner win came in 2000 for Waiting.

Also up for the prize were Edwidge Danticat for The Dew Breaker; Marilynne Robinson for this year’s NBCC winner, Gilead; Jerome Charyn for the misleadingly titled The Green Lantern; and Steve Yarbrough for Prisoners of War.
